My guess is dude went over to the "18 year old's" house to take said shower, thinking she lived on her or with friends being "18" and all. Shows up at a house with a 15-year old and parents. Parents turn him into the cops, and that is where he gets busted for talking to a 15-year old.

Perhaps but I still don't believe it makes it illegal. If she told him she was 18 and his intent was to shower (or do anything else) with a consenting adult, he should be cleared. I'm guessing there is more to the story.

As far as I'm concerned this is even worse than those Dateline NBC "To Catch a Predator" shows (okay, you got a scumbag off the streets - would that person have been a scumbag had you not enticed them into breaking the law?). This is probably where the girl got the idea. I'm not condoning what the guy did, but the girl advertises she's 18 and he gets rung up because he was lied to? Just doesn't seem right to me.

Agreed. The big difference is that on "To Catch a Predator" they know in advance that the girl isn't 18. In this case the guy was mislead to believe that she was in fact 18 when she wasn't.
